Bad Jelly Collective Unveils New Single ‘GETD0WN’ Featuring Jimi Kara

Bad Jelly Collective, the upcoming local enigmatic sonic project, is set to saturate eardrums with their second single, GETD0WN. Featuring the extraordinary guitar virtuoso Jimi Kara, the track takes a sonic-quantum leap by blending genres of dub, alternative rock, blues, and trip-hop, resulting in a mesmerising and genre-bending music experience. GETD0WN is the second taste of what’s to come from Bad Jelly Collective’s forthcoming EP, WESTB0UND&D0WN, showcasing their ability to traverse diverse musical “moodscapes”.

Based in the captivating Waitakere Ranges of Tāmaki Makaurau, Bad Jelly Collective is the brainchild of artist Bad Jelly Ben. As a solo artist, Ben spearheads the sonic project’s creative vision/sound, constantly pushing the boundaries of musical exploration. Drawing inspiration from an eclectic range of influences, including Wellington’s dub/roots scene, local landscapes of Aotearoa, true blues & red hot knives, Bad Jelly Collective creates a sound that defies categorisation and invites listeners on an immersive sonic journey.

GETD0WN serves as a testament to Bad Jelly Collective’s commitment to defying traditional genre boundaries. The track’s infectious beats, addictive riffage, and finely-tuned psychedelic  soundscapes, create an otherworldly atmosphere that transcends conventions & Jimi Kara’s remarkable guitar skills rip into existence as the song peaks, delivering a soul-grabbing shred solo that conjures a dynamic layer of intensity and musicality to the compositions apex. The collaboration between Bad Jelly Collective and Jimi Kara results in a captivating synergy that elevates  to new heights of artistic expression.

Recorded at Ben’s Huia Road Home Studio, GETD0WN represents Bad Jelly Collective’s dedication to crafting a unique and immersive sonic experience. The EP WESTB0UND&D0WN, set to be released later this year, will feature a collection of tracks that showcase their diverse musical palette and artistic growth. Each song tells a story, inviting listeners to embark on an adventure through the sonic universe of Bad Jelly Collective. A live tour is also in the works to celebrate the release of WESTB0UND&D0WN.

GETD0WN featuring Jimi Kara is available now on Bandcamp & all major streaming platforms. Stay tuned for updates on the release of WESTB0UND&D0WN & live tour by following Bad Jelly Collective on their social media channels (@badjellyco FB/IG).
